annual meeting which is held on the third Monday in May of 
each year. The object of the Association is to provide and 
maintain a Fund for the relief of sick and disabled Firemen, 
their Widows and Orphans. This fund is acquired by money 
collected by the Secretary of State from Fire Insurance 
Companies doing business in this State, and divided equally 
each year between all the Firemen's Relief Associations in the 
State by the collection of 2 per cent, on the premiums of each 
Fire Insurance Agent doing business in this city for foreign 
Insurance Companies, the interest on the money invested by 
the Association on bond and mortgage, and by donations. 
The laws for the distribution of this fund are very strict, and 
are promulgated and presented to the State Legislature for 
passage by a specially designed committee from the State 
Firemen's Relief Association, with headquarters at Trenton, 
N. J. 

A Board of Trustees composed of one member from each 
company and from the Exempt Firemen's Association receive 
and act upon all applications for relief. The following are 
trustees at present : From Exempt Association, James O'Neill, 
Engine Company 1 ; James McGrath, Engine Company 2 ; 
Eugene Link, Engine Companj^ 3 ; Fred Geisler, Engine 4 ; 
John Seibert, Engine 5 ; Engine 6, James P. Clark ; Hook & 
Ladder Company 1, Alexander McCernan ; Hook & Ladder 
Company 2, Thomas B. Hurley. James McGrath, President ; 
Thomas B. Hurley, Secretary. Trustees have power to grant 
one relief to any applicant during one year ; if additional relief 
is applied for it must be referred to the Relief Association, and 
upon their approval a second relief may be granted, but not 
otherwise, also all applications granted must be approved by 
the President of the Relief Association before payment — and

all payments for relief are made by the Treasurer of the 
Relief Association. 

The present Association was organized April 17, 188C, in 
compliance with a State law approved March 35, 1885, with 
tlie following- officers: President, L. G. Neu ; Vice-President, 
John Coonan ; Secretary, William Eckerson ; Treasurer, John 
A. Cotay ; Collector, G. F. Denniston ; Attorney, John T. 
Dunn ; Finance Committee, W. W. Russell, D. V. Sneller, and 
John Coonan. The Finance Committee were empowered to 
settle with the officers of the Old Board of Representatives 
and Trustees and immediately proceeded to business, and after 
very arduous labors succeeded in placing" everything- on a 
sound business basis, which has continued up to the present 
time ; and our Association has been complimented by the 
officers of the State Association as having- the best invested 
fund of any Association in the State. Great credit is due to 
the labors of W. W. Russell as member of Finance Committee 
and President of the Association, to John Coonan as member 
of Finance Committee, to William McCormack as member of 
Finance Committee since February 10, 1887, to John T. Dunn 
and James C. Connolly for legal services and advice, and to all 
other members of the Association who have always acted in 
concert for the best interests of the Association. Ex-Collector 
Daniel Fallon, 1893-93, has the honor of collecting- more money 
on premiums than any collector up to date and deserves g-reat 
credit for the energy he displayed in the performance of his 
duties. The retaining of William Eckerson as Secretary since 
the formation of the Association speaks well for the manner 
in which he has performed his duties. The election of John 
J. Gardner for the third consecutive term as President shows 
that the members have full confidence in his abilities as a pre- 
siding officer.

The first step taken for the formation of a Relief Fund was 
at a meeting- of representatives held at the house of Lafayette 
Hook & Ladder Company, No. 1, June 19, 1863, upon the in- 
vitation of Cliief Engineer J. L. D. Lyon. A temporary or- 
ganization was formed with John N. Lewis Chairman, and 
Wm. H. Loveland Secretary ; a Committee on By-Laws was 
appointed and the meeting adjourned to meet at the house of 
Osceola Hose Company, No. 2, on June 27. The adjourned 
meeting was held on that date, a by-laws was reported and 
adopted and the following- oflEicers elected: President, John N. 
Lewis ; Vice-President, Lewis E. Montagle ; Secretary, 
Matthias L. Darby ; Treasurer, Michael Kreig-. A motion as- 
sessing each company $2.50 to procure books and establish a 
fund was carried, and from this small beginning- was started 
the nucleus of our present fund. On July 30, 1862, J. Augustus 
Dix, Timothy Dixon and Chauncey Harris were elected Trus- 
tees, and the formation of a complete organization for relief 
was perfected, and was kept intact until April, 1886, when it 
was merged into the present Association.

To write the history of old Protection Co., No. 1, is almost 
to write^ the history of the department. It was founded in 
1837, with Ichabod Williams as foreman, and David Woodruff 
as assistant. Among- their associates were such veterans as 
David Sanderson, the first chief of the department ; Charles 
Forsyth, Robert Cleveland, William B. Tucker, the father of 
the hardware merchant, Joseph Cleveland, Adam Good, John 
Drake and Nathaniel Tucker. Then the membership consisted 
of the forty regulars allowed by city ordinance, and forty 
volunteers. Its first machine was old " No. 38," which was 
bought from the corporation yard of New York. When No. 
3 was organized, the following- year, it passed to the new 
company, and a Smith engine was bought. It was stored in 
the old building on the site of the present County Clerk's 
office, known as the "arsenal" or "cannon house." The

Rolla Engine Co., No. 2.

AMOSKEAG ENGINE. ONE HOSE CARRIAGE. 

FIVE HORSES. 

Rolla Eng'ine Co., No. 2, has the distinction and honor of 
being' one of the foremost companies in the Elizabeth Fire 
Department. To its enterprise, push and desire to fully carry- 
out its motto, "Rolla to the Rescue," it has always shown 
great zeal in promoting new devices and means for the carry- 
ing out of its work of protection from the fire fiend. 

On April 24, 1838, Cataract No. 2 was organized in the bor- 
ough and used old "No. 38," until a new Smith hand engine 
was procured. Jacob G. Crane was the first foreman, with J. 
M. Whitehead assistant, D. M. Crane secretary, and John 
Chatterton treasurer, as associates. In 1845 the company took 
part in the great fight between the fire department and the 
borough council and was disbanded. A mass meeting of citi- 
zens was called in 1852, and resolutions were adopted calling for 
the re-organization of the department. A number of patriotic 
and enthusiastic citizens met on Sept. 3, 1852, and re-organized 
old Cataract company, adopting the new name of Rolla No. 2. 
John Rommel was selected as the first foreman, with Elias P. 
Whaley as assistant, G. W. Harris as secretary, and Geo. 
W. Tubbs as treasurer. Among the early firemen of the com- 
pany was ex-Alderman Thos. Tillou, who did much to advance 
its efficiency. 

The first house was situated on Morris avenue, and shortly 
afterward the company was removed to West Grand street 
next to Ryan's Hotel. This house was torn down to make 

rPtri'l^ P oil RCDT JP. on Columbia bicycles.

room for the Pennsylvania railroad, and the present commo- 
dious quarters were moved into on Sept. 16, 1886. In 1866 the 
company procured the first steam fire engine ever used in 
Elizabeth, and had it in active service for twenty-two years. 
The "old vet" is now stored in the City Hall to be used in 
case of necessity. The company furnished a number of vol- 
unteers to the war of the Rebellion, some of whom lie buried 
on the field of battle, while others valiantly fought through 
the war and are held in high esteem by their fellow citizens. 
The question of more rapidly answering an alarm of fire had 
for some time been bothering the Rolla boys, and the difficulty 
was finally solved by Engineer Wm. Schwartz. He proposed 
the purchase of a team of horses and evolved a scheme where- 
by they could be made self-supporting. Aided by the efficient 
committee, Mr. Schwartz, ex-Chief Styler and the late fore- 
man, N. G. Smith, the company and citizens at large had the 
satisfaction of placing in their engine house on November 
22, 1881, the first team of horses for fire duty. A new Amos- 
keag engine was procured in 1888, which with the well appointed 
engine house and stables, makes the company one of the best 
equipped in the department. Not only has the company won 
honors at home, but also abroad. In the parlor are valuable 
mementoes, among them one from Parker Hose, No. 3, of

In its selection of officers the company has been unusually 
fortunate. Joseph McCandless, its Foreman, has held the 
position for three years past, and is one of the most popular 
firemen in the department. He is ably assisted by T. H.

Washington Engine Co. had its first organization back in 
1841, when it fell heir to the old " No. 38 " of the New York 
department, which had been successively the first engine 
of Protection and Rolla. This remained in its possession un- 
til about 1859, when a new machine was bought. Its first 
house was on Prospect street near Ehzabeth avenue, then 
Water street. Its first foreman was John McCord, who was 
followed by Allen H. Grinstead. Among the earliest mem- 
bers were Peter EUer, F. W. Schroeder, Christian Schwartz, 
County Clerk Henry R. Cannon, and Alderman and City 
Clerk Jacob Seiple. The company had a precarious existence 
for some years and finally was disbanded. Nathaniel Tucker 
was then paid the munificent salary of eighteen dollars per 
annum to take charge of the machine. About 1856, Walter 
F. Sayre, a member of the City Council, asked Tucker to or- 
ganize another company so as to save the city the annual $18, 
and he consented, provided Sayre, who was a carpenter, al- 
lowed him to have his two apprentices, George W. Doty and 
a boy named Yates. Three years later Tucker raised $400 by 
subscription, and with the old engine thrown in '* to boot" 
bought a new machine, which was used until 1868, when

AMOSKEAG ENGINE. ONE HOSE CART. 

THREE HORSES. 

Red Jacket was organized Jan. 24, 1855, through the efforts 
of Luther T. Hand and Jacob Seiple, then members of the 
Common Council. City Clerk W. R. C. Coleman was elected 
the first foreman, and was followed by Luther T. Hand. 
Among the foundere were such well-known men as Col. Wil- 
liam A. Morrell, Joseph W. Baker, C. A. Pountney, David 
Walker, C. P. Taylor, A. H. Hopkins, Isaac VanHart, James 
Wilson and John Baimbridge. The old hand engine was kept 
first at the spoke factory, then at the rope-walk, then at a 
blacksmith's shop on Fulton street, and finally in the present 
quarters on First street. The company distingui5>hed itself 
for gallantry at the great fire at the Cordage Works, where two 
of its members were killed and another had his leg broken by 
a falling wall. Before the present house was burned a large 
weather vane, some three feet high, the image of Red Jacket 
himself drawing his bow, surmounted the building. As the 
flames roared and crackled about the effigy of the great chief, 
a strong draft was created and the old fellow spun around, 
and presented a weird sight, seeming to be fighting the fiery 
elements as gallantly as were his namesakes on the ground 
beneath. A Button steamer replaced the hand engine about 
18G9, and horses were purchased in 1884. The company's next 
groat fire was the rope-walk again. It had just received a 
new Amoskeag steamer from the city to replace the old

Button. The engine left the engine house March 18, at 1.20 
p. m. and returned March 19, at 11 a. m., having been in ser- 
vice about 32 hours. Tlie fire resulted in the complete destruc- 
tion of the factory. 

The company's rooms are furnislied with a pool table, 
around which, in the evenings, collect the boys to play and 
the old-timers to spin their yarns 01 the days gone-by. There 
are many pictures on the walls, but none more valued than 
that of the brave old chief, who gave the company its name. 
A stuffed owl has also blinked at a long line of fire laddies. 
The company has three horses and three wagons. The animals 
are well trained, and have been hitched in six seconds. The 
company was first in the city to run a horse to a hose cart, 
wliich it purchased in 1885. Tiie company's present quarters 
are in a very desirable location for its members, as there are 
over 20 who live within two hundred feet of the bell. There 
has been property bought for a new engine house to be built 
this year on Elizabeth avenue, near Second street, which will 
greatly embarrass the company. The present officers are :

BUTTON ENGINE. ONE HOSE CART. 

Hibernia Engine Co., No. 5, was organized on March 17, 
1866, with Fehx McTamminy as its foreman, and hke other 
companies its first machine was a hand engine. The popu- 
larity of the company was well proven the same year in a 
contest for a handsome silver trumpet, at the memorable fair 
held in St. Patrick's parish, in which they won the prize. 
That the company is still the possessor of the confidence of 
the people is amply shown in numerous contests in which they 
carry off prizes, such as sets of harness, bedroom suits, gold 
and silver ferreled whips, watches, badges, gold headed canes, 
several suits and pairs of rubber boots. In 1868 the city fur- 
nished them with a steamer, with which many deeds of gal- 
lantry and some of sorrow are associated, notably among 
which is the death of John King, which occurred at a fire at 
the Cross Roads in 1869. Of its fire record the public point 
with pride to the rope-walk, Singer Works, Standard Oil 
Works and B. & O. bridge fires, and in justice to the above 
named companies it is but right to add that the fire services 
were handsomely rewarded with checks, and from the Singer 
Manufacturing Co. with a $500 horse. Chiefs Andrew O'Neill, 
Edward Leonard, William J. Mahoney and Joseph O'Neill, 
were from Hibernia. In 1887 the company purchased at their 
own expense a team of horses the efficiency of which is ex- 
celled by no team of fire horses in the State. Personal and 
individual instances of pride to which the company point with 
satisfaction is the position of its members in municipal affairs.

notable among them being one from Harmony Engine Co. No. 
4, of Trenton, N. J. This company also presented the Hibernia 
boys with their handsome brass fire bell, which did duty for 
the ])eople of Trenton for half a century; and a set of resolu- 
tions presented by the citizens of Lorraine in recognition of 
the company's generosity in presenting them with a fire 
alarm Feb. 23, 1893. Prominent m the company is their

AMOSKEAG ENGINE. ONE HOSE CART. 

This is the baby of the department, and a Hvely infant it is, 
too. It has not produced as many alderman and city officers 
as the other companies, because as the boys say, "We don't 
\iy/e in the right ward, but in fire matters we 'get there just 
tlie same.'" And they do. This obstreperous child was born 
at Keighry Head in October, 1868, and John Brosnahan was its 
father. Its godfathers at its baptism were Daniel Devan, 
foreman; Thomas Payton, first assistant; Patrick Burns, sec- 
ond assistant; John Kelly, secretary, and John Dolber, treas- 
urer. There were also present at the ceremony such well- 
known citizens of the ward as John Carey, Lawrence Bau- 
man and Michael Mulligan. The first machine was No. 4's old 
hand engine, which was kept at Hall & Carlton's coal j^ard. 
This they had for a j^ear and then took No. 3's old engine, 
which was stored in the present house. The present Amos, 
keag steamer was obtained in 1871. The horses were bought 
in 1883, and are now the oldest fire team in the city, and the 
boys claim, the fastest and best trained. On the walls of the 
parlor is a handsomely engrossed set of resolutions from the 
Passaic Steamer Guards, also an elaborate floral piece of im- 
mortelles from the same source. A silk flag from Red Jacket 
to Jefferson attests the friendship between the two companies; 
as do two silver trumpets bearing date Oct. 8, 1875, from 
Hibernia, No. 6, of New Brunswsck, attest Jefferson's popu- 
larity. There is also a trumpet won by Patrick Lynch in a

church fair popularity contest some eighteen years ago. 
Although the company' is too young to have made itself an old- 
time history like some of the more ancient ones, it has made a 
name for itself in its battles with the fire fiend, in which no boys 
have been more gallant or efficient than Jefl'erson's brave lads. 
On the ball field its prowess is proved by many victories 
over formidable opponents. The nine was organized in 1880 
and existed until 1886. Among its crack players were Chief 
McCabe, Jeremiah Bradley, Marvey Tenbrook, George Abbe, 
Patrick Turlan, John Brady, M. Corcoran and L. Donohue. 
Its matches with the Athletic Club nine for the city cham- 
pionship will long be remembered as the hardest fought and 
best played in the nistory of the game in Elizabeth. Jefl!er- 
son has furnished four Chief Engineers of the department — 
Michael Mulligan, Hugh Brosnahan, Thomas F. McCabe and 
Joseph Brown, the present Chief. Five assistants have been 
Jefferson men : P. J. Burns, Hugh Brosnalian, James Brad-

Lafayette Truck disputes with Engine No. 1 the honor of 
being the first regular fire organization in Elizabeth. It was 
formed on May 1, 1837, through the efforts of Col. James W. 
Woodrutf, who was elected its first foreman. Protection 
Engine Co., No. 1, was formed the same year, and it will be 
prudent to let the old-timers fight out among themselves the 
question of actual priority. Anyhow, at this time its appar- 
atus consisted of a two-wheeled frame, similar to a painter's 
ladder outfit, on which the ladders were placed, from which 
hung the buckets, axes and hooks. There were no ropes, and 
the boys caught on where and as best they could. With the 
reorganization of the department in 1852, Col. J. W. Wood- 
ruff was made Chief Engineer. Some years previous to this, 
however, they got Jonathan Harrison, of Elizabeth, to build 
them a " modern '' (forgive the word) truck. It was a heavy.

was advanced by J. L. D. Lyon. Gardiner Marsh made a 
model of this truck. In 1870, another truck was purchased. 
In the company's parlor there is a model of this truck in every 
detail, made by Cliarles B. Keimig, an old member. The early 
trucks were housed next to the Court House. Among the 
organizers of the company were Archibald S. Woodruff, 
Francis Sayre, Charles H. Ross, Col. J. D. Edwards and 
Walter Sayre. The list of foremen includes some of the most 
noted names of the city's history, among them : Henry M. 
Baker, John O. Magie, E. P. Edwards, Dr. L. W. Oakley, 
G. B. Whittlesy, President R. G. Rolston, of the Farmer's 
Loan and Trust Company, of New York, Aime Dumazeaud, 
Ezekiel Wade, Henry Kiggins, James Rollo, Rev. J. G. 
Kettle, William Chetwood, John T. Gilchrist, Jonathan B. 
Drake and William M. Oliver. Strange to relate, Thomas 
Forsj^th and John Keron, afterward Sheriff and candidate for 
Sheriff, were the first torch boys, in 1858. A complete set of 
the hat "fronts" of J. L. D. Lyon the surviving veteran of 
Lafayette, adorns the parlor. The inscriptions show his long 
life of fire service, as follows : Joined Eagle Fire Engine Co., 
No. 13, of New York, July 10, 1839; assistant foreman. May 
13, 1846 ; joined Lafayette H. & L. No. 1, of Elizabeth, Nov. 
1, 1853 ; assistant foreman, May 1, 1858; assistant engineer of 
department. May 1, 1858, for two years ; chief engineer. May 
1, 1860, for two years. Later on Lafayette furnished the de- 
partment with a chief in Sheriff N. K. Thompson. 

In 1863 the company invited the famous GrafuUa band to 
give a concert in Library Hall, and at the close of the per"

fonnance it was annoimced that half the proceeds would be 
given to the Orphan Asylum, which thus received by Lafay- 
ette's generosity some $300. Among the trophies in possession 
of the company is the old fire bell, which used to ring the 
alarms from the North End school house. It has the inscrip- 
tion, "A gift of Capt. David Lyon, 1789. Made by David 
Ross, at Elizabethtown." There is also a bible from the ladies 
of Trinity Church, and a pitcher, won by Lafayette's tug-of- 
war team from the Turn Verein, at the Veteran Zouaves' fair.

its affairs. The present officers are : President, Chas. B.

Jackson Hook & Ladder Co., No. 2. 

House, 10 Franklin Street. 

GLEASON & BAILEY TRUCK. TWO HORSES. 

Jackson is the successor to the old Empire Hook and Ladder 
Co. The latter was disbanded June 10th, 1808, by order of 
Common Council. Michael Doyle organized the present effi- 
cient company between June 17th and 24th of the same j^ear. 
The first officers were: Foreman, Bernard Duignan; First 
Assistant, Michael Fury; Second Assistant, Patrick Tevlin; 
Secretarj', John Kernan; Treasurer, Michael Doyle. After 
the reorganization, there sprang up quite an animated feeling 
between the new Jackson Co. and the old Empire boys, but 
as time wore on, this feeling lessened, and it was considered 
quite an honor at the Port to be enrolled as one of Jackson's 
members. An Irish fox was presented to the boys by an ad- 
mirer named Speiss. It became veiy tame and was allowed 
the freedom of the house. One night, however, as Reynard 
was sleeping, an alarm came in, and as the apparatus (?) left 
the house, the rear wheel ended his earthly career. The fox 
^vas stufl'ed and now always occupies a conspicuous place on 
the truck when on parade. A squirrel captured by Wm. 
0"Neil from the mast of a burning vessel near the coal dock 
has also been stuffed and retained as a memento of the occa- 
sion. The prominence attained in the early days of this com- 
pany has been maintained throughout the twenty-five years 
of its existence. Bernard Duignan, Oliver Conlon, and Francis 
O'Brian are among the chiefs elected from this company; 
Jno. J. Holmes and Jno. H, Conway, assistants. Many of its 
former and present members have attained honors in the 
political field, with credit to themselves as well as to the com-

pany and community. Edward F. Wlialcn, a popular and 
enterprising- young- man who was recently selected by Post- 
master Sheridan as letter carrier, hails from this company. 
The fireman's poet and song writer, Tommy Lane, whose songs 
were the edification of every fireman, are still sung with great 
" iclat " by members of the department. This gentleman was 
a member of the Jacksons, and his name has gone upon the 
Exempts' roll with honorable mention. In February, 1893, 
after 30 years of service, the old hay wagon truck was re- 
placed by a new Gleason & Bailey's latest improved patent. 
Since Foreman Conway's introduction into office he has con- 
ducted monthly drills, which have enabled the members to 
obtain a degree of proficiency equal to any paid department. 
Only six out of the thirty-one who organized the company are 
now residents of this city, and only twelve are living. Twenty- 
five years' active service as a volunteer fire department is 
Jackson's record, and undoubtedly, in one-fith of that time to 
come, the volunteer days will be over. We will then deplore 
tlie days now long past, when we **ran with the machme," 
and took our foreman's orders through a big brass-plated 
trumpet. 

The present officers are: Foreman, Jno. H. Conway; First 
Assistant, Wm. Cox; Second Assistant, Patrick Garvin; 
Financial Secretary, Jno. J. Higgins; Recording Secretary, 
Edward F. Whalen; Treasurer, Thos. B. Hurley; Janitor,

TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS. 



The Firemen's Relief Association of the City of 
Elizabeth, in presenting their Official Fire Alarm and 
Street Directory for the first time to the citizens of our 
city, do so with the firm belief that it will supply the 
demand which has for some time existed for a guide of 
its kind. The station and location of the alarm boxes 
and the apparatus responding to the difierent alarms, 
will, when the alarm is sounded, be found a ready 
reference. 

The complete street directory, together with the 
postal information, will make a valuable hand-book for 
all to possess. The map of the city being copyrighted 
we were unable to furnish it. This book is not a his- 
tory of our Fire Department, yet every company in the 
city has had something to say about themselves on the 
preceding pages. A society such as ours is not only 
necsesary, but imperative, in a volunteer department; 
and those whose names and business appear in this book 
have our hearty and sincere thanks. 

We love the service, and our citizens, one and all, 
may be assured that our best efforts will be theirs 
whenever we hear the alarm rung in. 
Respectfully, 

Firemen's Rei^ief Association.

DON'T ! 



DON'T allow stoves or heaters on your premises which are not securely set 

on stone, cemented brick, or metal, and be sure that all wood work 

near the stoves or pipes is carefully protected with metal. 
DON'T allow any loose-jointed peas brackets on your premises, which could 

be swung against wood work, or any gas brackets without wire 

screens, or globes, if hay, straw, light materials, or window curtains 

are near them. 
DONT allow electric lights or wires on your premises which are not prop- 
erly protected. 
DON'T allow steam pipes to be in contact with inflammable material. 
DON'T allow any kerosene oil lamps to be filled after dark. Filling lamps 

near a fire is dangerous. 
DON'T forget to keep the lamps filled, and wicks in good order. When the 

oil is low it generates gas which is liable to explode. 
DON'T allow benzine, gasoline, naphtha or explosives in your place. Your 

insurance policy prohibits it. 
DON'T allow ashes to be put in a wooden box or barrel in your building. 

Always have an iron ash can. 
DON'T allow any oily waste or rags to be thrown on the floor, but only in a 

metal can with cover, and have them taken out of the building every 

night ; they are self -igniting. 
DON'T allow any greasy or oily rags or papers to be mixed up with clean 

clippings' or a larger amount of clippings to remain in your place 

(even if clean and in bales) than is absolutely unavoidable. 
DON'T allow sawdust to be used on floors or in spittoons. It causes many 

flres ignited by cigar stumps or cigarettes. 
DON'T allow sawdust to be used for catching oil drippings from machines, 

or elevator gearing. Sand is safe. 
DON'T allow matches to be kept loose, or in paper boxes, but only in metal 

or earthen safes. Those lighting only on the box are safest. 
DON'T allow smoking on your premises, where any combustible goods or 

materials are used. 
DON'T fail to have your fire buckets filled, and test hose and fire appliances 

from time to time. 
DON'T allow your stairs or hallways to be blocked up, or used for storage ; 
or rubbish, hay, straw, etc., to accumulate, or remain on your premises. 

DON'T fail to have all elevators or hoistways provided with good trap-doors 

or hatches, and have these shut at night. 
DON'T forget to close your iron shutters at night. 
DON'T forget that neglect and carelessness are the cause of more fires than 

all other things, and enforce rules to guard against them.
